Hi I'm Angelfire777 and it'll be my pleasure to assist you in your problem. Reasearching Hijackthis logs could take sometime so please, be patient while I research a fix for you. Also, I have to let experts check my fixes first before bringing them to you. Please observe these while we work: 1.) Please stick with this thread until we are finished, do not start a new topic here or start a new thread at other forums. Do not worry, We were trained to help and never give up until we get you all fixed up. 2.) Stop if you have questions!! Never proceed if something is unclear to you. We don't want to start all over again. 3.) Avoid downloading other applications or other anti-spyware programs unless you really need to. 4.) Lastly, please be patient and never lose hope. Sometimes, it will take us several tries and posts to get something done. Sit back tight, I'll be back for you!

You are running Hjackthis from a temp folder. This is potentially dangerous because backup folder is made when we delete entries in your log. Now, if Hiajckthis is run from a temp folder then it will the backup folder in the temp folder. While we are in the process of cleaning, we might need to clear your temp folder and so, we might loose those backups. And that's why it is very important that Hijackthis resides in its own folder.

a.) Double Click my computer > Double click C:\ (Local Disk) > Right click in the background > Go to new > Click folder > Name the folder HJT

b.) After creating the folder, find your Hijackthis.exe (it looks like a detonator with some dynamites). After finding Hijackthis.exe, right click Hijackthis.exe then click cut. After that, navigate to C:\HJT\ then right click, then, paste.

c.) If you need some more info on why it is dangerous to run Hijackthis in a temp folder and if you want more instructions on how to put Hijackthis in its own folder, you can refer to this site Here
==========================
Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

DO NOT run any other options until you are told to do so

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.

==========================
On your next reply, please include:
  • A Fresh Hijackthis log
  • smitfraudfix log

Hi AngelFire
Thank you for your reply and sorry for the late reply.
The next day of my posting I went to a website whichI searched through Goolge called castlecops.com.
In those forums a premium member (sjpritch)was responding to someone who had a similar problem.
I did follow those instructions and ran smitfraudFix. It seemed to have worked at that time.

I have run HJT and Smith fraud again and am posting the logs you have requested .
Thanks in advance
